In this form you can activate or deactivate file versioning of the folder module. If versioning is active, files will not be overwritten but saved as a new version (commonly known as revision). Older versions of a document can be downloaded or restored if necessary. Deleted files will appear in a corresponding list and can be restored as well. If the versioning feature is activated files can also be locked, e.g. in case someone editing a document wants to prevent others from creating a new version in the meantime.
Versioning is available in all system folders: personal folders, group folders, course folders, resource folders, as well as in the course elements 'Folder'.
In order to globally activate versioning on this system, please select from the list the number of allowed versions per file or choose the option "Unlimited" to allow any number of versions for one document. Some restricting might be reasonable to limit the required storage space.
In order to globally deactivate versioning on this system please select the corresponding entry from the list.
Versions of deleted files will not automatically be deleted because of compatibility issues with WebDAV. You can delete them manually.
